Bringing more than 28 years of industry experience to the role, Crain began his career with NIBCO in December 2004 as a sales engineer. Since then, he has held various roles, including engineering systems specialist, commercial sales manager and regional sales manager for the Southeast. In March 2020, he was promoted to director of wholesale sales for the eastern region.

“Colin’s promotion brings two channels under one leader for an increased focus in an ever-changing market,” NIBCO VP of Sales and Marketing Joe Choflet said in an April 2025 news release. “We’re excited for Colin to bring his years of expertise into this new role and help strengthen NIBCO’s future.”
